Barking for Coyotes

Does anyone know the fellow that posted on one of the boards fairly recently that says he uses barks as a primary sound to call coyotes in? I would like very much to talk to the gentleman.
Thank you.
 
Rich in AZ,
I think maybe romans thought I was talking about him in a thread regarding good information being tough to filter out of the bad. I actually had nobody in particular in mind when I posted that. It is just something that happens fairly often when you have several people answering the same question. I hope romans will expand on his methods with you.
 
Rich C,
I didn't think you had anyone in particular in mind but he was mighty quick to take the defensive just the same.
I've never heard of anyone barking in coyotes. I know I have no opinion of it since I've never tried it.

brad h,
I am guessing, but I think the following experience took place about 15 years ago. I was camping near Burton creek in north central nebraska. There was a large oak tree near the creek that was a favorite roosting place for wild turkeys. Early one morning I was still lying on my bunk listening to the turkeys cluck back and forth in that oak. Then I heard a coyote down there yapping at the turkeys. I slipped out of my tent with cow horn howler and a rifle. I sneak down near the creek bank and do my best to imitate the coyote yapping. Within seconds, I mean like real quick like, this coyote trots out into a small clearing and looks my direction. I could tell that he was begging for a look at the strange coyote he had just heard. I gave him a bullet through the ribs instead.
 
Hello.

Thanks Rich H. for the invite and the phone call.

I like the forum.

As for the posts on the other forum, I asked the question if someone was talking to me when they warned about bad ideas on a topic. There were four posts, three were from veteran posts and I was a newer poster. Pretty clear. I wanted to know what was bad about what I posted and recieved a nice response. I moved on. Then I was criticized later on in the thread about howling. I don't need to get into a pissing contest. I am a grown man.

I have barked in several yotes when I have gotten into their core area and heard the yotes barking to each other. Which they barked and I barked back and they came. No other calling or howling. I would call it a low key mouth bark, no call.
 
i try to figure out if its a warning bark or a aggresive bark. warning barks its better to keep them barking and have your partner stalk up on them if possable while you keep them looking at or barking at you.
aggresive barks you can yell back aggresive barks and howls to them they come in slow some of the time so as long as he is being aggresive be aggresive back.
sometimes if you stop calling and just sit tight they will come to scent check the spot that the stranger was insulting them from.
warning barks have a little waver to them and agresive barks are flat in tone and sharp in duration.
 
A bark is also a "vocalization" but I don't think it's been explored to the extent that howling has. This could open up a whole new area for research.

Fox do not "howl" but they surely do bark. Would vocalizations be effective on fox? Is it even necessary for fox?
 
Actually it is quite an education to hear how a fox communicates with another as they are running around together. It's not a bark or howl, but sitting in a tree stand one night I had two Red Foxes come out and they sounded almost like they were purring or something. It is hard to explain the noise, but it was definately something I would have never expected to hear, I have heard them bark and scream bloody murder when stuck with an arrow..
